Looks to me like there are identical marks both before the A and after the O, so I think it really is an ASSO.

Based on the components $400 sounds high to me.

The slight side view of the headbadge looks like a Basso badge.

I've seen a lot of those Compe Forged stems, all on mid 1970s Nishikis, all 21.1 sized. Does it have a real headbadge? If not, I would wonder....

Looks like someone dipped into the parts bin on this one.

Do you mean as opposed to a decal? I've never seen a Basso with a metal headbadge.
